Sometimes spending time in the "patient/family" role can be a humbling reminder that the way we do things (and not just what we do) can have a profound impact.  Thank you JAMA IM for sharing my story...

We may be missing a subset of palliative patients who could really benefit from palliative ECT. Thank you @GreggWeltyMD for highlighting how removing the silos between psychiatry and palliative care can help us better serve the needs of our patients. https://t.co/qNeX1W6EJ4

"Sexuality and intimacy are essential domains of being a person and are included in the scope of QOL and therefore the scope of PC." Thank you @PalliativeMed_j @ChammasDani and team for this resource on a topic that far too often goes unaddressed in hpm. https://t.co/fh0vA9DbGU

“I have come to conceptualize every behavior I observe in pa- tients, from the delightful to the infuriating, as an attempt at coping, at maintaining psychological integrity in the face of difficult situations.”

Wonderful piece by Dani Chammas

We've all had patients with serious illness who joke. Should we laugh with them? Does it help them to cope, or feed into denial? Do we need to be serious because the illness is serious?

[PalliPsych Collaborative @Pallpsych]

@AlexSmithMD @ChammasDani , thank you for shining a light on the nuance underlying how we approach and conceptualize coping and defenses in clinical practice.
